How can I live with out my wife?

Answer 1

Move ON

Answer 2

Well you were alive before you met her, right? What,she divorce you? Did she pass away? My condolences either way brother. John Mellancamp sang it "Life goes on,even after the thrill of her is gone" First thing is GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!! Go somewhere you haven't been to since a child. One thing I find is that people are gabby at the grocery store.When conversations are going on sometimes a one liner at the right moment can start a conversation. Today,as I was cutting thru the produce aisle two elderly African American women were discussing the price of greens and how they were going to fix them tonite and I chimed in "well what time is dinner ? They laughed and I said "I'll bring some pork steaks over and the green fried tomatos" The clerk who was putting up stock chimed in and said" I'll bring the chocolate pie" . The elderly women laughed and mosyed down the line and me and the clerk got to talking about what we love "southern style" and guess what, tommorow we are getting together at her house for dinner. It doesn't always end up like this but I have been able to join in a few conversations this way and met a lot of good folks too. I play dumb in the detergent aisle and women are always willing to help. The whole Idea is to just GO OUT AND BE YOURSELF OR THE PERSON YOU USE TO BE. Things don't always end up like this afternoon but the main thing is I have fun. Not always do people respond but what the heck, the girls and guys at the deli or checkout counters know me and we cut up a little .You can do this anywhere. It just takes a little practice and a little luck.I have the most fun with the young women as they are so innocent when you lay the Bull---- on thicker as you go on down the line. and you keep saying to them "if I was 25 yrs younger I'd give that boyfriend of yours a run for his money cause he don't know it that he has a great honey" The point is just to get out amongst people and don't be afraid. May GOD Bless you and your endeavors

Answer 3

Well, firstly, give yourself time. Don't expect to move on in a second. She was your wife so I'm sure you really loved her, so yes, letting go of her will hurt. Cry if you have to cry...go in your room and cry your eyes out. It's better than keeping it in. (Actually I'm not sure if you're trying to move on from your wife's death or a divorce) So if it's a divorce i think it will also take time...basically the same stuff above. And also, for both cases, find a friend that you trust and that you can talk to. maybe even put aside 10 mins to just think of her, look at pictures, cry but then for the rest of the day, leave that for yourself. Go out and keep on living. That's really what everyone has to do in life- persvere on. Good luck with everything

Answer 4

I'm sure at first it will be very hard, but you will eventually find a way to get into your own routine and find your own life. No one else is responsible for your happiness other than yourself. The pain you are feeling is real but it will get better. It always does. One day you will forget. It's been 8 years since my husband left, and today I'm lucky if I think of him once a year... I have a new life, a new husband a child and could never look back... but 8 years ago I was asking myself the same thing. We all live through it.. be tough, get strong and move on.. you'll find out soon that life is actually pretty good on your own!

Answer 5

My wife left 5 years ago. At first, I couldn't believe How bad I felt.
I felt especially bad because the reason she left was that I became physically disabled. As soon as she saw that surgery didn't help nor the physical therapy after the surgery, she was gone.

At first all I wanted to do was die. Now I see meaning in life and a reason to live. As others have said, time will help. I found that a big help was getting into a Separated and Divorced Support group.

It was great to meet every week with people who were going through the same thing as I was. It was especiall good to have people in the group that were 1 or 2 years farther along in the process than I was. They could relate to me but could testify that they felt much better than at the beginning.

I also read some books on the process of grieving the loss of a spouse and how to move on. That was helpful also.

The biggest help for me was my awareness of God in my life and that He would help me every inch of the way. Actually my biggest help Was God Himself, who answered my prayers and reminded me that He loved me more than anyone.
That He would always love me, That He had created me and put me on earth for a reason, that my purpose in life was to love Him and to try to do His will, and that if I did that, He would provide for all of my needs.

God bless you as begin this difficult but rewarding journey.
